For senior citizens: Interactive reading sessions at the Mobile Library Mainz
Friendships, small gestures, chance encounters and late loves - the precious moments of human interaction accompany us throughout our lives. Under the cheerfully familiar motto "Ei Gude wie?", the Mobile Library Mainz invites you to a new interactive reading series for senior citizens from April 23 to June 12, 2026.
The focus is on stories full of warmth, humor, and life experience: tales of old friendships and new acquaintances, of family, children, and grandchildren, of long-standing relationships and unexpected moments of joy. The selected texts offer encouragement, bring a smile to your face, and remind us how enriching closeness, connection, and togetherness are in everyday life. Because one thing is certain: You’re never too old to meet new people—and sometimes happiness begins quite unexpectedly.
The reading sessions invite participants not only to listen but also to join in: group discussions, sharing personal memories, as well as little puzzles, proverbs, and familiar songs create cheerful moments and a strong sense of community. Each event creates space for encounters, exchange, and new connections.
There will be a special kick-off event on World Book Day, April 23. As the Mainz Mobile Library, we cordially invite you to join us at 3:00 p.m. at the Kolpinghaus Mainz (Schönbornsaal) at Holzstraße 19, 55116 Mainz.
